A source on Rep. Joe Wilson's campaign says his fundraising has broken $1 million -- and surpassed that of his Democratic rival, Rob Miller -- since his outburst of "You lie!" during President Obama's address to Congress Wednesday.

The source said Wilson's current tally is $1,005,021 from 18,859 donations amid a high-profile campaign on the Drudge Report and elsewhere telling conservatives that Wilson is "under attack" for his willingness to take on Obama.

Wilson, who initially apologized for his words, is now riding a reaction that has surpassed the liberal backlash to his words: Miller has raised less than $900,000, according to the Democratic fundraising site ActBlue -- though still more than enough to envigorate his challenge.

Still, Wilson's success -- despite having been criticized by Republican leaders -- represents the power of the conservative grassroots to reward politicians who confront the White House in the sharpest terms.

Where were all you Obama haters when
"George Dubbya" lied and now thousands have died? I guess it was OK to send our sons and daughters to die, as long as they were dying for oil and Haliburton! We should be ashamed of ourselves for bragging about USA being the greatest country on earth, while tens of millions go without health insurance. Why don't both sides try coming together, quit bickering about this and help Obama come up with something we all can live with! Then everyone can take a little credit for every citizen having equal healthcare!

WOW! Joe Wilson is a man, he has guts, I am proud to give him a donation. I will pray that he wins. Look at his Bio. on google. He former Army man and his sons are all in the Service. He has given his life and that of his sons in harms way, in order to protect our way of life. And for the Right of free speech. And those libs, want to slam him, I yell at my tv, everytime I see Obama, and scare the unowhat, out of my cat. Go Joe!!!!!

"Where were all you Obama haters when "George Dubbya" lied and now thousands have died?"
My son is protecting your worthless ass in Afghanistan. Thankfully also Americans that appreciate it. If only Obama would not have changed the ROE to protect his muslim buddies.
And you are a worthless POS, left wing garbage.

Look who's calling the kettle black!
When Nancy Pelosi apologizes for calling taxpayers nazis, mobsters, KKK members, and all of the senators and congressmen apologize for the insults they all threw at Bush 2, then maybe they can approach Wilson and ask for an apology. Bunch of hypocrites! We'll have the last laugh come next November when they lose the house and senate.

18k donors equal 1 million dollars ?either mr ben smith isnt good with math or someone is fabricating a story. there are limits on contributions and the 18k donors doesnt pass.
the money is really irrelevant....18k votes isnt going to do it ...mr miller has gained votes more then anything. most moderates just so wilson for who he is ....another family values fake.
2 deferments during vietnam vs a 2 time iraq vet ....bye bye addison graves wilson ( even his name is fake.

Joe Wilson is right the Emperor has no clothes on. Several news casters have reported that in one way Rep Wilson was right, the bill has no provision to check a person legal standing and lacks enforcement if some one is illegal and applies for health care. The President stated ythat this bill will remove the yearly and lifetime limits on your helath care, require Insurance Co to cover pre existine conditions, and would limit out of pocket expenses. None of these provisions were in any of the House passed bills and it is not in any of the Senate ones being considered. Such provisions would rais everyons insurance preamiums. The President mislead the American people at the very least.
For Political decorum remember Presidents Bush's State of the Union address in I think 2005 when the Democrats booed him several times. Senator Reid called him a Lier several times on National TV. I guess that is alright because it was a Democrat Doing it.

Joe Wilson is the Paul Revere of our day. He couldn't take any more lies and he was in a position to express that. I can't blame him I would have, too. The President should listen to the American people. We do not want a Socialist country and that is what is doing whether he realizes that or not (I think he knows.). This is just the start of a new age American Revolution. Long live the United States of America and her Constitution.

By: Educate yourself stupid" Where was all of this rage, concern for spending, and distrust for our federal government during the past 8 years. And guess what no one is talking about the educational failure the past administration. There is no valid failures or success of President Obama , but President Bush said Irag had WMD and the country was respectful and silent.
Well, why don't you take your own advice. President Bush may have been president for 8 years but the dems controlled congress since 2006. You need to look back at history and see how many dems said Iraq had WMDs. Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo2hnfYJjXw&feature=related
They sent us there along with President Bush and unlike him, turned their backs on us. And RESPECTFUL and SILENT? Are you kidding me? Here's another link. Open your eyes and ears. Stop watching MSNBC. Educate yourself.

There's more but, why bother. Some people are too dumb to the truth.

I just sent Joe $100 to show my appreciation for his willingness to refute the ******** we are supposed to believe just because "The One" speaks. Thanks, Joe for putting South Carolina in the news in a good way!

Oh yeah...you'll really see the left wing libs come out of their rat holes. All they have on their side is to call people stupid, idiots and the like. They say that conservatives are uneducated blah...blah..blah!! WANNA BET??

LOL. The few lefties that even try and make an argument are either totally ignorant of math (deficit), or just totally lame on history. Hey dirtbags, Clinton wanted to overthrow Hussein, but didn't have the cajones to get it or Osama bin Laden. 9 chances. It doesn't make us 911 Troofers. We just now how badly you people screwed the pooch. And now Obama makes Clinton look like he knew what he was doing! You jerks. We are at war with you traitors. We aren't going socialist. You are on your way out.

Dear Liberals: Thank you for insulting us. Thank you for your allies at NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, and the usual left wing papers for ignoring real news. Great on only announcing Van Jones' departure, but nary a reason why. Ditto ACORN. Charlie Rangel's 'problems.' And so on and so on. Life must be so easy to be a left wing bigot, no nothing.

I noticed from looking at some of the comments on here that people interested in donating to Wilson's campaign are finding that his website is down. To clarify, if you want to donate to Wilson's campaign, you can visit his campaign website: http://www.joewilsonforcongress.com. That's the correct site for making campaign contributions, and that one's up and running. Only his official House site is down.

I voted for Obama but the truth is he has turned out to be a liar and a Marxist. I can't get my vote back but I did send Wilson $350.00 and I'll send him another $300.00 when I get paid next week.
Keep pointing out the liars Joe...McCain, your a liar too.

The reason why this republican/ conservative awakening is confused as a hate movement can be underscored by this outpouring of support for this low contributing senator. Any real conservative would have been outraged at his outburst in such an inappropriate time and setting. Instead he is hailed as a hero. When Bush's lies depleted your pockets and ended the lives of American children in what is considered all over the world as an unwinnable war, where was your outrage? Where is your outrage now when your house of senate was desecrated? I guess if u look at it logically, then u can call yourselves liberals as u r liberal when it comes to tht. At the end of the day ur ilk will realise that that is how most of the world is...liberal about some stuff conservative about others...ur 'taking over' or 'silent majority' certainly do not exist. U may probably find this out come 2012... Politics in America has turned into a reality show...there is no difference btw the comments here and those I see on the big brother or survivor shows. And that frankly is sad...and petty. God bless.

unbelievable that the republiCANTS are behind this guy, i cant beleive people are still behind republiCANTS. You guys have done nothing, nothing for the last 8 years but bring 2 wars, thousands of dealths to SEVERAL countries based COMPLETELY ON LIES. Wilson may win his seat back, but who cares you guys lost the rest of them! RepubliCANTS wake up your time is over!

Hey liberals:
If you are willing to lie and bust a few heads to aggregate power, I'm willing to gather my friends that have fought for and know the taste of freedom to kick your sorry asses back to your ACORN and SEIU offices. Bring in on!

That's right. Throw away your money like you republicans always did to our money. I give you credit, you all waddle in the same lie and filth just as you did for 8 years under republican control. Fools, all of you.

I wonder if the Dems understand if they try to punish him next week in the house it'll just be round 2 of raking in cash for Wilson. After all being punished by the Dems is kind of a badge of honor, right?

Wilson's unforgivable violation of protocol wasn't speaking out during a presidential address, but speaking the truth--something so rare to the assembled gas bags they thought someone had just cussed. Obama stood there not only lying, but calling millions of his fellow Americans liars--and getting standing O's from his fellow travellers for doing it. Only one man in that entire room had a "spinal moment" during that Orwellian vomit from the Dear Leader. He spoke for me and tens of millions of us in the vast rightwing mob.

For all of you who are commending the outburst during President Obama's speech, I wish you would think about what you are teaching our kids. When you see a young person show no respect for a police officer, a teacher, their parents...anyone who should be an authority figure, then pat yourselves on the back...you helped that attitude flourish. President Obama should be given respect because he is our President. Like it or not...he is our President.

Joe Wilson, thanks for saying it to his face! I've been saying the same thing to the TV for months. I've had enough of that phony, lying, huckster con-man. I'll donate to your campaign and thanks again! Keep the faith and keep up the good work.

Renee, Tell everyone the truth: Did you demand Democrat leaders stop calling Bush a liar and respect him when he was president? Or is your outrage reserved only for Democrat presidents who get called out? By the way, I had no use for Bush, but he never called me or my allies liars, as this president has done. If he wants the respect you demand for him, he ought to stop accusing his fellow citizens of lying whenever they disagree with him.

Obama is a liar, illegals can get Health Insurance, they do not need ID or be a USA citizen. The Republicans tried to pass a Bill requiring proof of ID, but the Democrats shot it down. Joe Muhlbauer Miami

Kudos to Wilson the Obamasiah is a liar and deserves to be called on it.I pity the poor ignorant people who were brain washed by Obama,his thugs and the fiberal America-hating media this man no doubt is the worse to ever enter the White House but thankfully most Americans have had more than enough even Democrats well ones with brains anyway have had it with him and have aired or wrote that they will no longer support him and his party members that blindly follow him.I see a huge Republican landslide in 2010 buh bye Pelosi!

If any of you listened,really listened, to Obama's speech he referred to the health reform plan as his plan. Not any of the plans in the House or Senate. He was telling congress and the public what he wanted in a final bill. How could anyone call him a liar when his personal plan hasn't even been written and submitted as a formal plan. Several times during the speech he referred to his statements as "My Plan". As a result, telling anyone to refer to any bill in the House or Senate to check for lies makes no sense at all.

To Did You Listen: Did you read? Obama's plan, I mean. No, you didn't. Because he never wrote one, he just talks, talks, talks about "his" plan. But when he DID have one, back when he was a Senator, it SPECIFICALLY COVERED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Ask him about it--and see if he lies again.

"Does anybody really believe Wilson has raised this much money?"
Yes. I had never heard of Joe Wilson a week ago. I donated $100 to him through his Facebook page yesterday. If it wasn't for the story on Drudge, I never would have thought to do that. I know others with deeper pockets are donating a lot more than I did. I still couldn't care less about the guy, but I despise his opponents.

What Joe should have said.."excuse me, Mr. President, with all due respect, YOU LIE" and as far as him apologizing on the floor of the Congress..."I'll be happy to apologize when Harry Reid apologizes for calling President Bush a liar".
GO JOE...MONEY ON IT'S WAY!!

(Wilson is a LLPOF) -- Hey , your trip to S.C. likes like a great idea ... They just love it there , when yankees stop in to tell them "how we do it , up north".....(Don't forget to mention that you're from the 'upper west side' ; that should definitely get you into the "bonus round.") ... Frank K .

I live in California and have been mostly unemployed for two years. Nevertheless I sent my measly $10 to Joe Wilson last night. And this was before I heard that anyone was urging people to do this. Just a spontaneous gut reaction. Yes, I definitely believe he's earned a million dollars or more.

The GOP best hope will be bringing Geo. Bush back to the spotlight and announce "That he is a Uniter"
Again, Bringing Tom Delay back so he could have the Lobbyist write this bill and end all this discussion.
As a "Politictal Junkie" I have watched very closely and never found a Republican with a platform for reform of "Health Care" Or Education on any level.
With out the reforms we are in a serious situation..
Remember, This Economic Crisis was not a "Liberal" influence over the last 8 years. Most of us were against going into Iraq where there has been an enormous amount of lost lives and treasure.
Where was this intense DEBATE then?
The cost for that mistake out weighs any Stimulus or Health care cost.
Last..Avid reader of the "China Post" News. We are reminded that our banker is not going to sit and watch much longer. Neither side of this debate will be happy and My hope will be that the coming debate on Education will bring out as much passion.
We will not succeed as a World leader if we do not get these reform right.
Oh..China won the bid for the Iraq oil reserves with aggressive bidding that cot the US and Britain off guard.
While we swing back n forth from left to right they stay centered toward the future.

I would love to see an Upper West Side New York liberal down in bright red South Carolina district spreading liberal poopaganda. I'm sure you would make many new friends....please, by all means, come down.

Message to April: Joe Wilson know much about immigration. Obama has ignored his suggestions. Joe was absolutely right according to the documents he read. BO is a liar. He's a pathological liar. He's lied for so many years, he believes his own lies are truths. The untamed democrats have the same behavior. Undiscipline, unruly, untamed, pathological liars. It is a known fact that liars are also thieves because lieing and stealing are companions.
Joe Wilson hasn't "raised" over a million. He hasn't lifted a finger. WE ARE VOLUNTARILY GIVING TO HIM BECAUSE HE'S THE BOMB. You guys are donating to Miller out of spiteful revenge. That's why losers never win. __________________________________

I sure hope the rest of my party gets some backbone from Wilson's example. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins must be replaced by their party in the next primary. I would prefer they just make the switch now. No RINO's! Democrats know that "bi-partisanship" is dead. They must laugh themselves to sleep at night thinking about how they "suckered" Reblicans into thinking they actually want bi-partisanship. They got their chance and look what they are doing now. Masters of deceit! Conservative social values and limited government will prevail if the party of Lincoln maintains its resolve. "Read my Lips" Bush was a great disappointment and his big spending son blew it. He thought that Washington would deal fairly with him much the same as Texas had done. Wrong. Let's not do that again. The BIG tent is a fantasy. Big tents always collapse sooner or later. Tea parties, marches in Washington. It sure looks like the "silent majority" is waking up! Thanks Obama. Yes you can! (wreck the leftist democrat party)

Right. All these righties donating to Wilson, inflating numbers. Fixed News says 1.5 million, but DC says between 15-20,000. Barack Obama got 75,000 in Portland, OR, on May 19,08 without having to bus in people from all over the country - LOL!
Hey righties, guess what? Joe voted to fund illegal immigrants health care in 2003. See what a liar he is? And you supporting that snake, what does that make you all? F00LS!

I don't care who he is or what he represents, Joe Wilson crossed a line. Such behavior has no historical precedent -- transcripts of all prior presidential addresses make this point clear. As we all said during the presidency of George W. Bush, we must respect the president, even when we disagree. Wilson's behavior was unacceptable. I will donate to his opponent, not because I'm on one side or the other politically, but because we have to stop tearing our country apart. Joe Wilson's outburst represents a level of discourse which is harmful to us all. I'm ashamed to read that people are encouraging it in any way.

In the name of America,
There WAS a precedent. It was during the various speeches, State of the Union Addresses, etc. that PRESIDENT BUSH GAVE.
THE DEMS BOOED AND HECKALED Bush in Chambers... Also, he was called a Nazi, Moron, etc. Now THAT was disrespectful, but the DEMS have SHORT MEMORIES when it comes to THEIR behavior!!

Way to go Rob.We need to have more people like Rob Miller,who are not afraid to stand up against some of these Right Wing fanatical extremist Republican bullies,and their dumb hate agenda.Joe Wilson, is a fraud, hypocrite,and total embarrassment to the U.S.Congress. He should resign and join the KKK instead.Thanks to haters like Joe Wilson the Democrats will surely be in power,for a very long time.

to: Educate your self, stupid
Um, you mention no MWD in Iraq? Hmmm, what was that 500 tons of Yellow Cake then? Or the numerous densemetals lathes, or the many reports of weapons being smuggled out of Iraq into Syria?
What about the Sarin Chemicals captured in Jordan that had clear indications that they came from Iraq, just prior to that enormous, 18 month, so-called "rush to war"?
(since you seem to be somewhat unknowing, allow me to remind you that Jordan thwarted a chemical weapons attack in Aman (sp?) where two chemical weapons were supposed to detonate next to the British and American Embassies - stopped at the last minute by Jordan's Special Forces)..

60,000 to 70,000 people flooded Pennsylvania Ave, according to the Washington DC Fire Department.
WOW, someone hear said there were a million. Who should I believe the DC fire department or some anonymous idiot.

ACORN and SEIU employees and members were bussed into Obama inauguration. Joe doesn't have a problem about funding immigrants. That doesn't make him a liar either. Obama speaking from both sides of his ugly mouth makes him a liar. Stop talking like an airhead. I was wrong saying there were 1.5 MILLION in attendance a the DC rally yesterday. There were 2 MILLION according to the U.S. grounds police and ABC. Obama only had 1.8 million at his inauguration - good thing he had those ACORN & SEIU people bussed in, else you would be embarrassed by now! Haters are losers. LOL HAH

It's a well known fact that conservatism is on its way to extinction. Minorities will outnumber the Repubs in the near future, and they will not be supporting the Republicans, its only a matter of time. Republicans are cold hearted and selfish. They want something for nothing and don't want to pay their part. Progressives will win out in the end because good will triumph over evil. All of you who are worried about "the government takeover of health insurance" should be barred for life from Medicare. You don't want that awful gov't program!

jdkinpa, you are free to believe anything you want. That number you're quoting relates to the Tea Party Express bus that arrived from CA early in the morning. I attended the event and I'm still here in DC. We are ready for you minions to reduce the attendance but everything is recorded. We were ready for you. Stop being an airhead.

Thank you Joe Wilson. We are glad to voluntarily give to your service. Not because you are republican. But because you are standing up and CONFRONTING our enemy who is illegally occupying the White House through ACORN's fraudulent voting practices taught by BO. BO, YOU LIE!

Like some people think, divine intervention is what this country needs and we are seeing it. First with Wilson, and now the huge protest in DC. It looks like God is answering our prayers. Keep praying and speaking out and maybe we can overcome the devil!!

RepubsRevil, well there is a surprise coming that will blow your head off! BTW, democrats have been taught to take hand me downs for so long but there is a new breed rising. Once they see the horizon, they'll shake off that woe-is-me thought pattern. Another thing, I see selfishness in every race, creed, party line, male, female, and child. It's the nature of the beast when hearts are blackened with ugliness. I'm willing to bet you are a selfish one as well.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The Republican Party has degenerated into a mob of howling idiots. I'm not at all surprised that the conservative Republicans have reallied behind this loud-mouthed moron. The conservative movement is dead intellectually, and what remains is a mindless zombie. Rest in peace, intellectual Republicans. Rest in peace.

Is Mr. Wilsons behavior acceptable? Is this how an elected official should act? Seriously, he was out of line. If you don't care for your current lawfully elected president that is no reason to support some Ass Clown that displays such disrespect. We can agree to disagree but, sticking to the facts and treating each other with respect is always the best way to handel any dispute. Say what you will or may, President Obama has displayed respect and been very polite. He has carried himself in professional manner and been a good sport with everyone that has thrown mud in his direction. There are over 350 million of us in this country and I can assure you that regardless who sits in the oval office we all will never agree or be satisfied. It is easy to sit back and judge or listen to one side of the issues and make uneducated comments. This action does more harm than good. When it's all said and done we are in this mess together! God bless you all and God bless the United States of America.
W. Richardson

Obama lacks leadership.
Obama can pass any legislation he wants with the democrat majority in both houses of congress and without the republicans.
Obama is a failure.
It's about time someone in the GOP stood up to this Obamanation!
Thanks Joe.

"Teabaggers,
You're not going to like the latest news.
The Washington Post reports that about 30,000 of you turned out for the march in DC today.
That would be about 0.01% of the U.S. population. Yeah, you guys are a huge majority.
Posted By: Kythe | September 12, 2009 at 05:02 PM"
Kythe - perhaps you should look to a more...reliable source of news than the Washington Post. :) LOL! You might as well have quoted Keith Olberman - idiot.

" President Obama has displayed respect and been very polite" - Rich>>>> YES Rich...Obama is very polite...why, he even BOWED to to the king of Saudi Arabia. How "respectful" he was to the cherished office of POTUS by doing that. And don't forget naming an admitted COMMUNIST as one of his Czars...yes, quite upstanding to freedom and liberty and the American way. And yes - he's very polite.....can't you figure out he's an empty suit? A slick talker? A conman?

Who are you to declare anything? uhmmm? I reverse the curse of double-talk back to you and the one you serve. 2 MILLION in attendance. Historical. We're not depending on party lines, Democrats or Republicans. We are depending on divine intervention - not to be confused with the usurper and his czars. Clean House coming up. The moron is you. The idiot is you. The stupid is you. You study but intelligence is not your game. The democrats have never stooped so low as they have in the last two years. I'll say it again - I'm so glad I left the Democratic party after many years. The party is slothful, humiliating, complainers, sex, drugs, smokes, talking cheap, filthy speech, disgusting manners, baby abandors, low lifes is what their lives are all about. And baby it shows! Oh, yeah, a democrat at the office went into the clunker deal. He turned his car over and bought a used clunker deal. Friday the government program car he bought was renegged. They called him to return the car because it had a lean on it, and they gave him back his old car. But they didn't give him back the money he put up front. Sounds like the way Obama operates. Works like a Chicago mobster. LOL

BO has disgraced the office of president. He has also caused disrespect and disdain to be shown, not just for him as president, but for the office of president. Wilson spoke out because he like a lot of us wanted to throw up (puke) at the constant stream of lies BO spews forth dwhenever he gives a "speech". In the "hallowed" halls of congress, it seems quite appropriate to have done so as it just might get rid of some of the putrid stench the congress creates and leaves wherever it congregates. It may be true that there are may others that would have liked to have done what Wilson did but they did NOT do it, Wilson did. His huervos must be the size of a basketball and he certainly has shamed the others in congress that swhould have stood up and clapped when BO lied again for the umteenth time. Lets see how many whoppers BO comes up with shortly when Orley Taitz gets him into Federaldistrict court over his pretend birth certificate. I know, I know, you die hard Demorats will still continue to believe his lies in spite of proven truth. You Dems are like UFO'ers

I'd say that the rules have now changed. If the Republicans ever manage to get one of their idiotic candidates elected to the White House, I hope that the Democrats have the guts to require 60 votes for all legislation in the Senate and also to yell at the Republican President during his or her speeches. Turnabout is fair play. If the Republicans can't accept the fact that they lost the elections in 2008, why should Democrats ever accept any potential Republican electoral success in the future?

To: jk from sc
You selectively forgot some facts in your long list - Every government run program ends up bankrupt (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, FannyMaye, FreddieMac, etc.), for the 8 years President Bush was in office the deficit rose to just under 500 Billion, it's been only 9 months and the deficit has risen more than 800 Billion to 1.3 Trillion under the deficit king (Obama), and that's without Health care and all the other programs Obama wants to put in place. We can't afford any new programs and the beaucracy that comes with it thanks to the way the Democrats are handling our illegal immigrant problem and paying off all their supporters with stimulous money. I mean really - 3 Billion of taxpayer money to buy clunkers. Why not just flush 3 Billion down the toilet.

oldleonash, let it go man. In the 21st Century you should be comfortable with your color, as I am. You know as well as I this is not about race. Your remark is such as Alinsky's Rules for Radicals teach and Obama learned. No, this is much more deeper than a race card. All you anti-Americans should be shipped afar off in a land where you can worship Obama and he can provide you the health insurance plan and anything else you would desire. Just so you know, Obama will be keeping his private doctors. So say what you will and will what you say, but we know both sides of the court and the sleeping giant has awakened.
I'll be thanking the Lord for showing up and showing off this week. He is the One who gets all the praise. AMEN.

great ditto heads just think about it,every time a president says something during a speech to a joint session of congress a naysayer jumps in with some insulting remark. where will this lead. have any of you ever had a deep thought or do you just listen to rush and glenn and get all foamed up and lose all open minded rational. the president of the united states deserves respect weather his name is bush or obama,this is not some out of control immature entity our great country.

KV from AZ: At least Obama spends money on things that we need, such as an economic stimulus to get us out of George Bush's second recession and for health insurance reform. The Republicans spend money on idiocy that does no good whatsoever, such as the war in Iraq, which was a $1-trillion Republican blunder. The Republicans are only fiscally conservative when they're out of power. Never in the history of this country has the Republican Party been fiscally responsible while it's in power. Never!

Food for thought: Say what you will or may about President Obama, he IS the president of the United States of America. Like it or not there is nothing any of you can do to change that. He was elected by the people black, white, brown all the people. He accomplished what most thought was impossible. I am still amazed myself especially when I read comments like the ones here. Some of you actually hate him! Why can't you give him a chance to do his job? He is actually pretty smart. Any man or woman of color that convince the majority of people in this country to vote for him is pretty damn smart. Most of you didn't realize this story was about joe wilson and those who did saw it as an opptunity to attack OUR president. Yes people like it or not he is all that we have.....

I'm 43 yrs old and tonight I gave my first ever donation to a candidtate-Joe Wilson-who doesn't even represent my state.He does, however, represent me and all Americans who will fight to stop liar obama and his corrupt America-hating liberals from destroying our Country!

I cannot understand why anyone would back BO. The man surrounds himself with folks of the most questionable character and reputation. Some have police records (Ayers and Jones to name but two), some are admitted tax cheats (Geitner for one, Rangle for another), and some....well, shy go on. This guy seems to be as filthy as the bottom of a cowboy boot in a pig sty. What a fine example to put before heads of state in other countries. The only respect he is likely to get is from folks like Castro, Chavez, et al. I must reiterate, Wilson showed no respect for BO because he (POTUS) neither deserves nor commands respect. Can anyone name a single piece of legislation the man sponsored while being a U.S. Senator? Anyone notice how the man does not take any responsibility for any of the bills that the Dems have come up with since he was elected POTUS? He does not want to be connected in writing to anything that has any chance of backfiring and hurting his Messiah image. The man so far has shown he doesn't have a thought of his own in his head and has proven to lack even a modicum of understanding about most of the things he gives speeches about. Without the teleprompter, he makes GWB look competant. He stumbles, uhs and ums it a lot, stammers and stutters...he is a fake, just like the rest of his life story has been. God Bless America and thank you Lord for coming to the rescue and getting things turned around for us.....in Jesus name!

TO GET REAL... In your effort to label me a racist, yu failed to challenge anything I wrote...why is that? The only thing you could think of (if yo can call it thinking) was to make a racist insinuation. Guess what BRO, I am blacker than Obama. As a matter of fact, I do not consider him as being a black person. His mom is white, making him 50%white, his dad was a middle easterner and only 50% black. According to the genetics,the most black he can be is 25% black. I personally don't care what color the dentist, doctor, fireman, or President is as long as they are QUALIFIED to do the job and that certainly lets BO out of the running I am ashamed to say. It would seem to me that you are the racist here oh wise one.

The heart of my plan is simple: bring stability and security to Americans who already have health insurance, guarantee affordable coverage for those who don't, and rein in the cost of health care.
Tonight, I offered a specific plan for how to make it happen. I incorporated the best ideas from Democrats and Republicans to create a plan that's bold, practical, and represents the broad consensus of the American people.
We've come closer to real health reform in the last few months than we have in the last 60 years. But those who profit from the status quo -- and those who put partisan advantage above all else -- will fight us every inch of the way.
We do not seek that fight, but we will not shrink from it. The stakes are too high to let scare tactics cloud the debate, or to allow partisan bickering to block the path. Your voice, right now, is essential.
See my full plan and call on your representatives to support it:

Joe - This is a defining moment in your life. You have apologied and the President has accepted. DONE. If you back down to the demands of the Conress and prostrate yourself, you will be forever known as a wimp and will end your career. If you stand up, you will show the world that you are principled and willing to fight anyone. The choice is clear. Your enemies want you fold.

Wilson's comment is no more out of order than booing Pres. Bush or even the standing ovations. All are out of order in this type of forum. The problem is that when the Democrats booed Pres. Bush, it is rather ambiguous. At least Rep. Wilson had a specific point to make and it was true to the mark. Then he apologizes and the Democrats never did. Once again, the Republican rises to their level while the Democrats sink to theirs.

Donate to Joe. He spoke the truth and Obama, was just tellin his normal tall tales. Democrats voted down the illegal immigrant amendment to the bill. So.. if its not in there and theres no verification method to look at the affordability credits crap, then they get free healthcare. Sorry I dont work myself to a heart attack so people can take my money because they refuse to pay for their own healthcare.

Since the GOP has had no problem playing fast and loose with the truth, I would have to see the money before I took the word of Wilson's source. Miller had raised over $1 million in less than 48 hours so passing Mr Miller seems unlikely.
The South Carolina newpaper printed apologies from Wilson's son and brother for his conduct and his brother said if his parents were alive they would have taken him to the woodshed.
For those of us who live in the South, Maureen Dowd assessment that what Wilson was saying "You lie, boy" is exactly what we heard. This poor excuse for a human being is unfit to serve in congress. Providing a comfortable environment for inappropriate and unacceptable behavior to continue is the definition of enabling. If the house doesn't stand up against this drunk and take action, then they can expect for the GOP's "old, old frat boys" to escalate their discourse.
People who behave shamefully need to be publically shamed.

Finally! Someone in Congress with PASSION and for the RIGHT THINGS! We need MORE Joe Wilsons! Tell John McCain and all those Democrat-lites to shut up. Three cheers for Joe Wilson and a nice contribution to his campaign from me!

count me in as another non-south carolinian to put money in Joe Wilson's coffers. This is also my first ever political donation and based on some of the moronic lib comments here it's probably not my last.
Go Joe!

Thank you for speaking against the lies being told to the American people by the government. I wish you had not done it on national TV well our president was speaking, but it had to be said. Until they fix the illegal aliens problem by sealing the border,reviewing the character of the ones already here, and start to enforce the current laws, they should not be giving the benefits of citizenship.

Look it up for yourselves, suckers!
On Wednesday night, Rep. Joe Wilson , shouted ?You lie!? at President Obama when he said that the healthcare bill would not cover illegal immigrants.
However, in 2003, Wilson voted to provide federal funds for illegal immigrants? healthcare. The vote came on the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, which contained Sec. 1011 authorizing $250,000 annually between 2003 and 2008 for government reimbursements to hospitals who provide treatment for uninsured illegal immigrants. The program has been extended through 2009 and there is currently a bipartisan bill in Congress to make it permanent.

Rep Joe Wilson question if an illegal come in the Untied States and gets hurt in a car wreak has to go to hospital who pays for it now the taxpayer do! or are we going just going to leave him on the side of the road bleeding to death? NO we want we are a humane country!.....
THE GOVERNMENT PICK UP THE TAB FOR THAT ILLEGAL BEING IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!!
ANOTHER QUESTION:: WHY ARE THE ILLEGAL IN OUR COUNTRY, SOMEONE IS NOT DOING THERE JOBS BY REMOVING THEM FROM THE COUNTRY BECAUSE OF OUR RICH FARM OWNERS CHEEP LABOR !
You don't have a leg to stand about illegal being put in the Health Care Reform Bill!

Way to go Joe!!! When you lie, you lie and you called him on it. If you stand in front of the House and lie, someone should call you on it, not sit by like a wet noodle and act like it never happened. The right thing to do is not lie to the American people. But, everyone should know by now that Obama will say and do anything that is politically correct and will help push his socialist agenda. He did that to get elected and is continuing to lie thru his teeth to pass health care reform. He is hell bent on ruining the US. The government has ruined Medicare, Medicare, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Post Office and Social security. If you think they can run a massive health care program, you need to get your head out of the sand. For you will pay for it and suffer thru it. If there is that much fraud, waste and abuse in Medicare and other government programs, why hasn?t Obama spent the last 6 months chasing it down so WE, the people, can see how this health care boondoggle is going to be funded. I wonder if Obama has read the bill, I doubt it?? As soon as the web site is back up, I'll be donating to Joe the Heckler!!!! This is not change, it is lies, magic and voodoo!!!!!

Maybe Wilson breeched proper protocol by calling Obama a liar. Ask yourself, what is worse, Obama lying to both houses as well as to the American people or Wilson i, mproperly voicing his opinion? I saw many "Joe for President" signs at the rally in D C yesterday and he for sure has the backing of the thousands of Americans who were there. Maybe he will become the strong voice for the republican party that is so obviously missing. GO JOE!

Question: Did Soros and the foreign donors to Obama's campaign quickly cough up a million bucks to provide the appearance of support? The Democrat voter base sure doesn't have that kind of money these days. In fact, they never have had it. Where is the investigation into Obama's massive campaign donations from a supposedly poor voter base?

Shortly after Rep. Wilson's holler of frustration, that many of us feel as well, the Whoe House had to change positions on the verification system that was strangely absent in the legislation.
It seems to me allof you should be mad at the author of the legislation who are making a liar of the President. H.R. 3200 in the House of Representatives, in section 102, nullifies the promise that your present health care will not change.
While you can get as emotional about this as you would like, if the facts do not back up the words uttered, then a mis-truth has just been spoken.
I think the one's who owe all of us an apology, are those in Congress who have chosen to follow their own paths instead of the wishes of their constituents.
You need to read the bills themselves before you blindly accept the word of those in Congress.

Calling out the truth is a violation of protocol and booing is not? Calling Bush a liar is OK and calling out the same about Obama is not? It's a lack of respect for the dignity of the office of President to tell the truth about its occupant?
Why, then, isn't it a lack of respect for the Congress and, indeed, the American People for the President (of the People) to appear at the podium of the House of Representatives (of the People)and declare what he and all of his listeners know is untrue to be fact? Just as the Presidency deserves respect, so does the Body Politic require it from the President. Further, Obama accused his opponents of using scare tactics and then, declaring that doing nothing (obviously this meant not adopting his "plan") concluded his speech with "Our deficit will grow. More families will go bankrupt. More businesses will close. More Americans will lose their coverage when they are sick and need it most. And MORE WILL

Joe Wilson spoke the only words of TRUTH in the House that night and everyone knows it.
I love to watch you moonbats squirm, whine and run like the rats you are when the light of truth illuminates you.
Now, do us all a favor. Go do another bong hit, get back to your video games and let the adults talk for a change.

You know what. George Bush did lies us into a war which has cost over 1 trillion dollars which he did not count in the budget. Being disrespectful is wrong and childish. You are showing who you are Wilson supporters. It's a sad picture, but we get it.

HA HA!
Democrats can't take their own medicine....all those years of Bush being called a liar, Nazi or worse..of celebs like Kirsten Dunst saying on live TV that she wished George Bush would be "killed" and movies being made about the assasination of George Bush...
Take it and internalize it, you hypocrites.
The tide has turned on your "dream".

Lets see:
I pay Medicare taxes - the WELFARE recepiants are covered.
I pay SS taxes - the WELFARE recepients are given SS (never contributed a dime).
Section 8 housing - I pay for that.
The list goes on and on... my taxes goes up and up.
And now obama wants the working stiffs to pay more taxes to cover whom?
Wake up working people, yes, even union workers, as taxes goes up your jobs will disappear.
Answer this question: When was the last time a WELFARE recipient, apoor person, or an illegal ever gave you a job?
Joe is the man.
Obama is a pathological LIAR!!!

Man oh man! Try to give some people a chance at decent health care at a reasonable price and they scream how awful it is. Republicans are so wrong on this, and so many other issues these days. Why don't all you right-wing whackos sit down, shut up, and take a damn anti-anxiety pill. Makes me wonder how much of this debate is about health care, and how much is REALLY about hatred of our first black President, a quashed pro-life movement, and general dissatisfaction by the anti-gay theocrats. My guess is that it is an unholy amalgam of each of these groups, just carping and complaining about everything because the rest of us have moved on and are looking for real solutions to real problems. Let the adults run this country for a change, okay?

Why aren't Republicans like Joe Wilson upset about the billions of tax dollars we are spending to fund public health care in Iraq? Hey Wilson supporters, turn off the talking heads (they're in business to spread controversy not news) and start thinking for yourselves.

There they go again: "Makes me wonder how much of this debate is about health care, and how much is REALLY about hatred of our first black President...." The last refuge of the bedwetters is to pull out the race card.

LOL..."bedwetters"? Grow up Sgt Stryker, stop quashing sincere discussion, and for God's sake get a real hobby. Judging from the sheer number of your tit-for-tat and belligerent postings here, I would suggest a mental health evaluation as well.

You worthless repukes on here are just "pallin around with terrorists." I wish we could stick all of you in SC or Texas and let you secede because you aren't worthy enough to be a pimple on the President's arse, let alone Americans.

"Where was all of this rage, concern for spending, and distrust for our federal government during the past 8 years"? Evidently you don't remember the 2006 election that saw RINO's turned out by a bunch of disgusted conservatives.

Dear RepubsRevil, You had way too much fun in the 60's. Cooked a lot of good brain cells it seems. Your post sounds like Orwellian nonsense. R's want something for nothing? Heck,that's the definition of the Democratic Party!
Give up Medicare? Gladly if I hadn't been forced by Medicare and my company to give up my Blue Cross full coverage, because I reached the magic number of 65.
You think conservatism is dead and all the new Americans will vote for only D's? We will see...

It doesn't really matter what the respective candidates raise. American politics is hardened into camps. I will NEVER vote Dem, no matter the amount of money spent to try to convince me they aren't socialists. I'm sure the reverse is true of the other side. We haven't seen this degree of polarization since 1860. Let's pray it stays "civil" this time.

I hope the Republican's empty their wallets into Wilson's campaign.This pretty much sums up the the Republicans. Pouring money into the confederate flag waving state of South Carolina in support of an apparent rascist. The Republican Party of Barry Goldwater is dead and has been replaced by race baters, religious intolerant numbskulls. The only thing missing are the white robes and hoods.

I applaud Joe he deserves a medal. He had the guts to say what he did to the president infront of his face and the nation. Unlike some in the House and the Senate who called President Bush a liar behind his back. Who are the real patriots?
Please go to my website www.pineconeconservatives.org I am a new organization, my FORUM is written daily and I would like your support, check it out.

I sent my $25 to Joe but it wasn't just to support Joe or to send a message to the liberals, it was to send a message to the REPUBLICANS. We need you guys to have a backbone like Joe. You KNOW the healthcare plan Obama is pushing will NOT work and will only enslave the American people further. Shame on you for making Joe apologize! STAND UP AND DO THE JOB WE ELECTED YOU TO DO!!

I want to THANK MR. Wilson for standing up and saying what we all know is the truth. The president is a LIAR....... I live in Florida and was proud to send $100.00 to Joe Wilson so he can defeat the Liberals in Washington.

We don't need Obamacare. Things have been fine for a very long time. I work hard for my money and will not be taxed to help those that don't work hard. I'm sorry but if you can't afford any kind of health insurance you aren't working hard enough. And if you go bankrupt due to medical bills, well, you were stupid for putting yourself in that position. If you can't afford it, then so be it. No sweat off of my back.

We need to stop with the Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, taxing us for the roads, schools, colleges and etc. Enough with the taxes! We are being over taxed. Perhaps Texas and SC will secede. Once they show how well things will run, many, many other states will follow.
Look at Texas now sending Ranger Recon down to the border to help out. I say shoot first and ask questions later Rangers!

I just contributed $50 to Joe Wilson's campaign. $25 for the word "YOU" and $25 for the work "LIE". How do you know the patients are running the asylum?. When the guy who tells the truth gets hammered by the left and the guy who spent an hour misleading America gets the praise.

I held my breath this morning when Joe Wilson was about to answer Fox's question as to whether he'll apologize on the senate floor...and if he said he would apologize on the floor I was going to demand my recent contribution to him. I hope Pelosi continues to try and ridicule a good man. The stupid woman will do more to help Obama's opposition than anything Obama can do or say. God Bless Joe Wilson and I wish to hell other Republicans would find their cajones!!!

The press fails to mention that the Miller campaign was $400,000 in debt. So Joe will is way up in the Cash poll!
I dont care if the Dems bury Miller in cash he can not win in
a Very conservative district!
Joe should run for the US SENATE!

TODAY'S BREAKING NEWS: ABC WAS MISQUOTED ON CROWD SIZE AND ENHANCED VIDEO FOOTAGE BY ORGANIZER, FOX NEWS AND FREEDOM WORKS-tens of thousands attended tea party, not 1.5 million.
"'Matt Kibbe, president of FreedomWorks, the group that organized the event, said on stage at the rally that ABC News was reporting that 1 million to 1.5 million people were in attendance."
SIWWY WEPUBWICAN, TWICKS ARE FOR KIDS!!
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/protest-crowd-size-estimate-falsely-attributed-abc-news/story?id=8558055
HEY WEPUBLICANS!... YOU LIE!!!!

fact: wilson is in the pocket of the insurance companies almost a half million dollars. of course he will try to defend them and "try" to do damage to health care reform. it will do no good be because in reality wilsons idiotic outburst does not have merit. the republicans cling to any sensational media drama is because that's all they have now that they've lost their party. wilson is a patsy, is still behind miller on contribution funds, he spoke up to appease the big companies who actually have death panels, apologized and admitted he was wrong and he's damn lucky the president is actually a decent person. the people posting here aren't really sending money, they lie just like wilson to "try" and prove some kind of point. the republican party has nothing right now and that's why they worship the slightest bit of vocal, not because it's the right thing to do, but because that's all they have. liberals arent scared of joe wilson, we feel sorry for his supporters and we cannot believe how easily you people are fooled. the sad thing is joe wilson is a patsy, even sadder for his supporters...now you are too.

I am about to contribute to Joe Wilson. It's about time someone stands up to Obama and his freaking pack of lies! Obama is a communist and the sooner people realiz this, the sooner we can reverse this bozo. GO JOE!

Repeat after me: The usurper is falsely occupying the White House. He is twisting the truth to the young generation and our college students have bought into his system of death and destruction. Obama has bored false witness to our great nation. Joe Wilson knows his homework and rose up and spoke the true words, YOU LIE. Obama is not the "One," he certainly is not Almighty God. We will not bow down to any false gods either human or clay. We will not worship false witnesses. JUSTICE shall prevail.
PS: By the way, the monies given to Joe Wilson is not a campaign. It is a sovereign move of free-will giving to Joe Wilson. I just gave my $1,000. $100 the day after Rep. Wilson declared YOU LIE. If all the evidence was laid out in front of us NOBODY BUT NOBODY would dare refute Rep. Wilson. It's not about color, it's about keeping with the constitution.

A correction to the story: there is no "high-profile campaign" on the Drudge site. Only 2-3 links (among dozens) to related stories. It would make the story more effective if Mr. Smith had done actual research and listed one or two actual places where campaigns for Rep. Wilson were launched. I wish the facts had been better checked.

Joe needs to place the Confederate flag back on top of the capitol building where it rightfully belongs. It should never have been taken down. And if I had even known about this march on Washington I would have been there with my flag.

After Harry Reid called Bush a liar and a loser, he was asked if he were going to apologize for saying it. He replied, "No, because I am who I am and I call it like I see it." Shouldn't Joe Wilson be accorded the same privilege? Keep "calling it like you see it," Joe!

4. Obama's Integrity Has Been Tarnished in August
Not a great deal has been made of the whoppers that the president has been spewing while Congress has been away during the summer recess but it turns out that more people than I realized have also noticed the president wildly "exaggerating" in his talks on health care. For instance, the president confused the $500 physicians actually get to amputate a foot as opposed to the $50,000 that he claimed they got. He also showed an utter disregard for the reputation of those doctors he talks about, the "facts" he uses to make his argument, and is highly overly optimistic about the results of his policies. Long story short, at the beginning of the summer Americans mostly trusted him, his passion index was at +10, he heads into the fall at -14.
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2009/09/01/kevin-mccullough-obama-implode/

to LaGrange: ok i rechecked my FACTS and he received $414,246 from health care sector. i am not lying, i am stating facts, something you're obviously not good at. ok let me explain it to you in simple easy to understand terms, joe wilson received $414,246 from the insurance companies. he will continue to receive that kind of dough because he is a patsy.

Ok. I'll give you that. I checked and yes, he's been accepting donations from various pharma companies. And, I'm sure you would have brought up the fact that he did not believe that the US supplied weapons to Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq War. Heck he still may not believe it but, this means absolutely nothing. It's apples to donuts. He's got the cajones to stick to his guns right or wrong. We need more people like that in the government meaning someone that sticks up for what the believe in.

The more I see and hear of Wilson the more I think he is a perfect fit as spokesperson for the new GOP when Beck and Limbaugh are otherwise occupied. He is loud, he has horrible manners, he is ignorant and is certainly two-faced as he voted for illegal immigrant health care cost reimbursement himself and wasn't observed to call himself a "liar". This last was done when Bush was president and the GOP controlled Congress. Go Joe Wilson!!! And take the GOP with you!!!

Yesterday at the rally I saw a sign that read ? The Democrats have ACORN. When is the Republican Leadership going to grow some nuts??? I think Joe has a bigger bag of nuts than the leadership of the party.

"as he voted for illegal immigrant health care cost reimbursement in 2003".
It doesn't matter that it "may" be in direct contradiction to what he believes now. People can change. He has the will and intelligence to out fund the obamacrats.

In the 60's we brought down health care reform. In the 80's and 90's we did it again. Why try again? The people have spoken. We don't want any government funded health care. Thank God for Drudge providing this link. Palin 2012!

I would rather see Wilson run against Lidsay Graham and get that spineless moderate out of the way of Conservatives who are trying to save this country from Obama and his Nationalists Socilaists Party.

I love the person who proclaims small business is now involved and will donate to this clown and I guess we have to weep for you because you don't provide health care for your employees because you don't have enough money to cover it. And I wonder why small business is in such trouble? Perhaps, because you waste your money on the cancer that is Joe Wilson. Pathetic!

NOw this is great fiscal responsiblity!!! We conservatives may be prudent with our resosurces, but we know a good cause when we see it. I'll even send Pelosi a BIG "H" for her bosom. That stands for hypocrite. (Remember Rangel, Nancy?)

I agree-Wilson is the "greatest American statesman" & Obama is a LIAR! I guarantee if BO gets his way illegals will be insured & abortion will be covered under this plan.
I'm sending my donation today.
GO JOE!!

Meanwhile our economy continues to tank, job losses become permanent, Wall Street remains as unregulated as ever, trying its best to create another bubble to steal the rest of your retirement funds from when it bursts, and the ice keeps melting. Who keeps distracting you people, and why are you arguing about a politician lying?

If more politicians would just say the truth like Joe Wilson did, I'd send 'em all money. Usually lie and deceit are the qualifications to becoming a D.C er. Go Joe, sick 'em.
Wish I lived in SC so I could vote for you, but will support you anyway.

Too many idiots allowed to work in America....meaning Maureen Dowd. Again, she had to bring up the RACE thingie.........Joe's comment was all about Race. I'm so sick of hearing that, but she's an idiot and no man would marry or have her. ha!

If Joe Wilson, got a million, and Miller, got a million Joe, is still ahead as Miller, was in the hole for 440 thousand. You go Joe, and God help all the Repub's that didn't stand with Joe, I emailed McCain, and told him to butt out, and stop siding with the lefties, also sent money to Joe!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA, OUR UNPAID FREEDOM FIGHTERS, AND JOE WILSON!!!

Liberals are up in arms about Wilson's remarks yet, wasn't it DEMOCRATS who booed President George W. Bush during HIS speeches? Again, the Democratic Party mantra of "don't do as I do, do as I say." The Democratic Party: home of the "double standard."

neither one of these candidates needs a million dollars to win their tiny congressional district. i wouldn't be surprised if most of this money end up going to the general congressional committee of the candidates' respective parties.
why are republicans so obsessed with democrats being "scared"? Who cares if they're scared or not? Wouldn't it be better if they weren't, so they ya'll GOPers could sneak up on them?
seriously though let's all stop wasting money on this. get yourself a nice meal instead and help someone keep their job.

The American people are finally getting to know more about our Communist President. The more he talks and shows his true feelings people realize Obama wants to run America like a Communist Dictator, he wants the government to own all production, sales, healthcare, money and investments therefore controlling everything we do. Our patients are at an end and we are doing what we can to see that the Democrats are done in 2010.

One other poster said; "Flash... this just in. Within 48 hours of his speech, the President's political campaign organization has announced ONE MILLION DOLLARS in contributions were sent in for the President's "campaign for change."
Whew, I guess that arsehole George Soros's contribution came in.... & maybe a few contributions from the Middle East perhaps...
Remember all those campaign contributions he began to return only AFTER getting into office? They refused to stop contributions coming in from overseas when this is easily accomplished on the spot... I mean iTunes can do it, but the Obama capmpaign was so corrupt, they allowed foreigners to manipulate an American election!
Axelrod is a is a despicable traitor!

The fact that a set of people can raise funds for a man who looks and behaves rabidly like a rabied dog is a shame on this country. One guy claims that some of these people may have been the offspring?s of those who came to America from prisons in Europe. Else, how do we become home to most of the worst characters the world?
I bet that proportionately, we have the highest level of bad people to good people in this world. This, I repeat that it may be due to genetics. I read from some books that President Castro may have imitated what Europe did several decades ago and sent the worst felons in Cuba to Miami Florida during the Muriel boat lift. Some of the refugees lived near my dormitory at an airport in Miami where I was a student pilot. Some of them drifted to the prisons of Miami while a lot of them are now the prosperous and beacons of hope for the Cuban population of America
Why is the Republican Party home to some of the craziest people in this world? Think of this man called Newt Grin Grich? What of Sarah Palin? What of the KKK and its subsidiaries? Think of Timothy Macvey and Jeffrey Dammars? I bet they were all Republicans. Remember the lady who drowned her six kids in one of the Carolinas? She claimed that it a Black man who killed her kids. Why? Why? Why? Is it that a majority of the crimes of passion are committed by a particular racial group here?
One can conclude with certainty that a majority of some Republicans and Religious bigots are the modern day terrorists of the world.

The bottom line is that the majority of American people no longer believe this president. He told us to judge him by the people that he uses for advisors. He has surrounded himself with left-wing extremists and communists. President Obama does not tell the truth. I guess that makes him a very good liar.

Kythe, Thou dost protest too much. By the way, the term is tea parties. Teabaggers is something gross a certain group does with private parts. LOL. I get a kick out of the lefties demanding RESPECT for the office of the presidency at this point in time when they booed and hissed at Bush. And did many alarming things such as applauding a film showing the assassination of W. Maybe Joe should have used the term A**hole instead of liar. What do you think?

Since Joe Wilson's website is having DoS attacks, his snail mail address is: Representative Joe Wilson P.O.Box 2145 West Columbia, SC 29171
I mailed him a thank you card and donation on Thursday morning after he made me proud!

This is crap. he surpass one million by upper class giving over $1000.00 so lets have some decent calculations 100 per 1000 you get $100k so you get 100 votes. now 500 by 20 you get $100k but you get 5000 votes. who won. People don't believe this crap. all this is make you think that is alright what he did and it is not. I hate people that are partisian and do not get the facts and make all this propaganda. all smart peoplw which i hope we still have realized this.

The sad thing about this whole situation is the media. What is considered Journalism/Media in this country is a Joke. These people aren't Journalists or TV reporters, their Propaganda promoters. When do they ever question "their" boss?, when do they ever investigate "their" boss?, when do they ever critique "their" boss?,What about "their" Democratic party? Is there any doubt as to the allegiance of these CLOWNS in the media to "their" messiah?? I think it's time for the civil war to begin. there is no use putting it off-since it's coming anyway. Us "red-neck,nazi,un-american,mobsters,misinformed,un-educated,and oh yeah-racists, need to get our weapons and prepare to take on the liberals because they will be wearing their dresses and be ready to fight. So, lets get it on!! Pick a spot like San Fransisco,we'll round up our posse and they can round up move-on,peta,kos,huffington,code-pink,acorn,soros and all his thousand .orgs,and we'll see how tough these pansies really are??

Where do we sign up! Finally someone who calls em like he sees em right on national television in the Halls of Congress! No apologies needed here. Let's keep a daily running total of the contributions from here on out so the Dems can see how really out of touch they are!

Pamela Dever, why would we want to put our money in the charity pot? So you can apply for it for FREE. You put your own money where your mouth is. I don't know a conservative who hasn't given to the man on the street corner, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Goodwill, Cancer research organizations, donated to their churches, served in soup kitchens, given away vehicles. You need to put the SHUT in the UP as Madea would say.
Class Dismissed, I am glad to pig-around with Rep. Wilson and anyone else of his caliber. So you can dismiss yourself.
I live in FL and have a lousy dem-donkey for a representative. I also had a RINO who recently retired. Since Rep. Joe Wilson publicly took action, I have adopted him as my own statesman. I have given him two donations, previously mentioned in an earlier post here. I now receive correspondence from him and I am forwarding to him every piece of dirt from the left to keep him posted on their dirty, sleezy stunts so he can be ahead of the game. As far as I'm concerned, you lefties continue the name-calling, and I'll continue making a difference in Rep. Wilson's career. I am for supporting REAL patriotic representatives who deserve the backing of TRUE AMERICANS. Bring it on - I've never ever backed down from a bully, ever. I'm a confronter and that's what I appreciate about Rep. Wilson. As far as respecting the president because he's the president?? Forget it. Ain't gonna happen. I've done my research on him two years ago. The U.S. Constitution refers to such a one as a USURPER. There is no respectable title for the Usurper. He has committed tyranny and treason. I await his arrest. Game over.

My remark after listening to Obama on the video saying, "I will call you out." No, Obama, WE THE PEOPLE OF THESE UNITED STATES WILL CALL Y-O-U OUT! Don't you even threaten or bully us. Don't you dare ever.

Normally I'd say respect the office of the presidency. And I do. But I don't respect BO. He's not my president. He's not even a legitimate president. Thus, zero respect from me :)
Can't wait to see the liberals running around in the streets protesting like whiny brats once we impeach and kick him out and ship him out :) Oh it will be so satisfying. The day is coming... and they know it. That's why they're panicking. BO claimed he didn't even know about the 9/12 event. Hah. He knew, but he ran, like the coward he is. Can't even face his opposition.
Historic president all right. He sure does make history every single day... but not in the way he had hoped :) It's hilarious that more people showed up on 9/12 than for his inauguration. And this is only the beginning. We will come back with so many people that the entire city will not contain all of us. We will come back with so many people that we will even spill out onto the interstates and beyond if that's what it takes!

Obama did lie...look at what has been
happening for years in California and
why California is BROKE!

Rob Miller donors are not on welfare. A lot of them have jobs just like you and make and some even earn more than you. It is laughable Wilson's donors are scared to death that Miller will win. You can bet Miller people will not only donate, they are going to turn the people out in force to get Wilson out of office.
